| Title | Microscopic Imaging Through Turbid Media : Monte Carlo Modeling and Applications |
| Author(s) | Gu, Min;Gan, Xiaosong;Deng, Xiaoyuan |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2015. |
| Description | XII, 187 p. 123 illus., 5 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book provides a systematic introduction to the principles of microscopic imaging through tissue-like turbid media in terms of Monte-Carlo simulation. It describes various gating mechanisms based on the physical differences between the unscattered and scattered photons and method for microscopic image reconstruction, using the concept of the effective point spread function. Imaging an object embedded in a turbid medium is a challenging problem in physics as well as in biophotonics. A turbid medium surrounding an object under inspection causes multiple scattering, which degrades the contrast, resolution and signal-to-noise ratio. Biological tissues are typically turbid media. Microscopic imaging through a tissue-like turbid medium can provide higher resolution than transillumination imaging in which no objective is used. This book serves as a valuable reference for engineers and scientists working on microscopy of tissue turbid media |

| Title | Biophysics and the Challenges of Emerging Threats |
| Author(s) | Puglisi, Joseph |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 2009. |
| Description | VII, 179 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Single-molecule techniques eliminate ensemble averaging, thus revealing transient or rare species in heterogeneous systems [1???3]. These approaches have been employed to probe myriad biological phenomena, including protein and RNA folding [4???6], enzyme kinetics [7, 8], and even protein biosynthesis [1, 9, 10]. In particular, immobilization-based fluorescence te- niques such as total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRF-M) have recently allowed for the observation of multiple events on the millis- onds to seconds timescale [11???13]. Single-molecule fluorescence methods are challenged by the instability of single fluorophores. The organic fluorophores commonly employed in single-molecule studies of biological systems display fast photobleaching, intensity fluctuations on the millisecond timescale (blinking), or both. These phenomena limit observation time and complicate the interpretation of fl- rescence fluctuations [14, 15]. Molecular oxygen (O) modulates dye stability. Triplet O efficiently 2 2 quenches dye triplet states responsible for blinking. This results in the for- tion of singlet oxygen [16???18]. Singlet O reacts efficiently with organic dyes, 2 amino acids, and nucleobases [19, 20]. Oxidized dyes are no longer fluor- cent; oxidative damage impairs the folding and function of biomolecules. In the presence of saturating dissolved O , blinking of fluorescent dyes is sup- 2 pressed, but oxidative damage to dyes and biomolecules is rapid. Enzymatic O -scavenging systems are commonly employed to ameliorate dye instability. 2 Small molecules are often employed to suppress blinking at low O levels |

| Title | Biomaterials : A Tantalus Experience |
| Author(s) | Helsen, Jozef A;Missirlis, Yannis |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2010. |
| Description | XVI, 340 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Replacement of a failing hip joint or other defective organs in the human body by artificial ???spare parts??? has significantly improved our quality of life. These spare parts have to meet a wide spectrum of mechanical, chemical and design requirements. ??In this book, the properties and selection of materials for such `spare parts??? are deduced from case studies at the start of each chapter. Hard tissue replacements (joints, long bones, dental), soft tissue (heart valves) and tissue engineering are included. The chapters also detail the three generic classes of materials: alloys (including shape memory alloys), ceramics & glasses and polymers. Separate chapters are devoted to the toxicity of implants, the metals zirconium(-zirconium oxide), tantalum, niobium and metallic glasses, soluble metals and Rapid Prototyping techniques for the fabrication of custom made prostheses.?? The book concludes by a chapter on water as water is always ???there??? and conditions the interaction between body and implant. Water is the very matrix of life on earth. ????A peculiarity of the book is its ???perspective view???, meaning that the authors looked behind the present biomaterials??? d??cor and included historical backgrounds (real and mythological), future developments, and the relation to nature (plants and geology) |

| Title | Information and Its Role in Nature |
| Author(s) | Roederer, Juan G |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2005. |
| Description | XII, 235 p. 35 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Infromation and Its Role in Nature presents an in-depth interdisciplinary discussion of the concept of information and its role in the control of natural processes. After a brief review of classical and quantum information theory, the author addresses numerous central questions, including: Is information reducible to the laws of physics and chemistry? Does the Universe, in its evolution, constantly generate new information? Or are information and information-processing exclusive attributes of living systems, related to the very definition of life? If so, what is the role of information in classical and quantum physics? In what ways does information-processing in the human brain bring about self-consciousness? Accessible to graduate students and professionals from all scientific disciplines, this stimulating book will help to shed light on many controversial issues at the heart of modern science |

| Title | Brilliant Light in Life and Material Sciences |
| Author(s) | Tsakanov, Vasili;Wiedemann, Helmut |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 2007. |
| Description | XIV, 500 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | A NATO Advanced Research Workshop on ???Brilliant Light Facilities and Research in Life and Material Sciences??? was held from July 17 to July 21, 2006. The workshop was hosted by the Center for the Advancement of Natural Discoveries using Light Emission, Yerevan - the newly established institute in Armenia with the aim to create a synchrotron radiation facility, CANDLE, as an international laboratory for advanced research in life and material sciences. About 50 researchers from NATO, partner countries and Armenia gathered at Yerevan to discuss modern trends in developments of advanced light sources with high spectral brilliance and applications in basic and applied research in a wide range of fields. Research with high brilliant photon beams are used, for example for practical applications in pharmacy, electronics and nanotechnology. Such practical relevance promoted the design and construction of now more than 50 such facilities worldwide. Overview and specialized talks on the status and highlights of newly constructed light sources (ALBA, SPEAR3, European XFEL Facility, Siberian Synchrotron Radiation Center, CANDLE), on instrumentation and development of experimental techniques, and frontier research in life and material sciences using synchrotron radiation have been presented. More than 60% of the program was devoted to application of synchrotron radiation in biophysics, biochemistry, biomedicine, material and environmental investigations. The workshop brought together scientists from a wide spectrum of research fields emphasizing the wide application and demand of synchrotron radiation and underlining the necessity of user involvement in the early design stages of a new project |
